It’s like in golf. A lot of people--I don’t want this to sound trivial--but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive. It’s weird. You see these great players with these really long putters, because they can’t sink three-footers anymore. And, I hate it. I am a traditionalist. I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.

Okay, this is weird. It's actually more insulting because it's not terribly fundamentalist. The heart of the outrage here is that it's painfully casual, and I don't really know how to vote on that. Honestly, I'm impressed that Trump managed to create this experience for us.

I can't quite understand that analogy. If someone has a "really long putter," that doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be attracted to a woman: "three-footers." At least, I think that's what he was trying to say? Admittedly, the only golf I've ever played is miniature.

And I'd be happy over the fact that at least he's honest about why he doesn't like gay people...if I didn't still think that it's most likely this is all just a publicity stunt...though with the current field of Republican candidates, it might be likely he's more serious than we think.

Should I be worried that I sort of get his comparison, stupid as it is?

People have the goal of finding their other half, (or just sinking their balls into a hole for recreational purposes,) but reach that goal in a way outside of his set pattern, (switching clubs,) and since that's not how he immediately learned to deal with the situation it falls outside of the traditions of the game and his preset notions of how balls should be handled in each different play area. It's not against the rules, and it's not cheating, but it's not the way he knows how to do it and he doesn't like it.

This is more idiotic than fundie, but it is revealing. He has lots of friends who are fabulous and gay. But they're not good enough, fabulous enough people that he wants them to be able to marry and have the same legal rights as his straight friends, because it makes him feel uncomfortable. See that's epic selfishness right there. He hasn't grasped that it's not about what you personally feel to be OK, it's about what is right.

Trump opposes equal rights based on his personal "ickiness" scale. Reason #822 out of the million reasons not to vote this turnip into office.
